    Description

    This portrait is restored from a 1930's era postcard featuring the Twin Zephyrs It is printed on gloss photo paper with Canon inks guaranteed for 100 years without fading
    The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, known as the Burlington Route, was a midwestern railroad connecting Chicago, St. Louis and other midwestern industrial towns from its numerous agriculture markets down to Texas seaports. It began with the Aurora Branch’s charter of 1848 to extensions into Burlington, Iowa and Quincy, Illinois to become the “CB&Q”. Also known as the “Q”, it was famous for its fleet of Zephyr streamliners, modern and sleek stainless steel clad trainsets connecting midwestern cities and towns. The CB&Q merged with the Great Northern and Northern Pacific to form the Burlington Northern Railroad (today’s BNSF).
    The Twin Zephyrs ran between Chicago and the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. These trainsets ran between Chicago and Minneapolis in just over 6 hours and 15 minutes with 5 trains a day in each direction.
